Navichord giveaway – 10 copies of chord/harmony exploration app to be won

I guess it is a ‘thing’ in other parts of the world also but, in the UK over the last few years, the concept of the ‘pop up’ enterprise – be that a shop, or an event or a restaurant – has become quite common. Having indicated a couple of weeks ago that I’m going to have much less time to spend on the blog over the coming months, that’s perhaps a pretty good way of thinking about what I hope to be able to do – a ‘pop up’ blog when I’ll post something that I think might be of interest as and when time permits.

Anyway, the various app giveaways I’ve run on the blog over the years have always been fun to do…. and a few developers have been in touch to say they would be happy to help keep those going. And first off the blocks on that front is Denis Kutuzov, the developer behind the excellent Navichord app, and a regular supporter of the blog.

I did a full review of Navichord here on the Music App Blog some time ago but, as I’ve also posted more recently, the app had had a whole series of updates since launch and has considerably expanded upon its feature set as a consequence. The design is also so simple and elegant that the app is a pleasure to use.

Navichord – familiar interface, but the recent update brings a new Song Mode :-)

Anyway, Denis has been kind enough to provide me with 10 copies of the app to give away to readers here at the blog so now might be your chance to pick up a copy of the app for free. As usual with the giveaways I run on the blog, the deal is simple; get your name in the hat and see if it gets pulled out.

You can enter the draw in one of two ways.

First, if you just want to enter this draw, then use the Contact Us page to leave your details before 10 pm (GMT) on Friday 24th November, 2017. Make sure to enter ‘Navichord’ in the message subject line.

Alternatively, if you want to get included in this – and every future promo code giveaway run on the site – then sign up for the Music App Blog email list before the deadline. All members of the list will automatically be entered if every draw. You can sign up here and, as a bonus for signing up, you also get a copy of the Music App Blog’s ’25 iOS music apps to get you started’ guide.

As soon as I can organise after entries close, I’ll draw a suitable number of names at random from all those entered. I’ll then notify the lucky winners by email and include the necessary promo code. I’ll also post a list of the winners here. If you are one of the lucky ones, do make sure to use the code ASAP – iTunes Redeem Codes generally have a relatively short life span once they have been issued.

Navichord really is a very cool tool and, because of the way the note buttons are arranged in the upper portion of the display, you can quickly learn quite a lot about chord construction. And, with MIDI out, it also makes a very useable MIDI performance surface while the recently added Song Mode is also very welcome. You can read the original Navichord review here but, if you want to be in with a chance of winning a free copy, get in touch or join the email list before the deadline.
